Houston Texans inactive list for Week 6 game against Patriots

It's Week 6, and the Houston Texans are on the road, ready to face the New England Patriots. The Texans are coming in at 4-1 and are fresh off a huge win over the Buffalo Bills. They can't afford to fall victim to a potential trap game as they face the 1-4 Patriots.

New England might not be the imposing team they once were, but could find a spark in the form of Drake Maye. The third overall pick will debut on Sunday as he replaces Jacoby Brissett.

Houston hopes to have their ground game back on track with Joe Mixon set to return. He's missed the past three games but is active on Sunday. With that being the case, let's see who winds up being on the sidelines this weekend.
